{"product_id":"skull-butterfly","title":"Skull Butterfly Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eMocked up this skull-butterfly after a customer asked me for something that was gothic but not heavy, she wanted the vibe without the density. The butterfly is the main event here, big wings taking up most of the frame, but when you look at the centre you realise the body of the butterfly IS a skull. The eye sockets of the skull sit right where a butterfly thorax would be. Its a visual trick that works realy well on fabric because your eye bounces between seeing butterfly and seeing skull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll in black. 1 colour, no stops, no colour changes. my workhorse software digitised the wings with directional satin fill at density 602, the feathered wing-tip detail is done with a light pass that keeps it airy at the edges rather than blocky. 43 trims in the file, which sounds like a lot for a single-colour piece but each wing cell needs its own trim to stay crisp. Pop cutaway under stretchy black tees, its worth the extra step, dont skip it thinking tearaway will hold on jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 sizes, 3 inches up to 7 inches. At the 3-inch the skull face is still readable, which suprised me when I first tested it. The 7-inch at 27,409 stitches is the one to pick if youre going on a jacket back or a canvas tote front where you want the full wingspan drama. Email me if your machine flags the jump count on the smaller sizes, I can resave a condensed version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on a black tee with ivory poly thread, which sounds counterintuitive but the tonal effect with just the texture variation reads really strong. Or go classic ivory thread on a black tee. Avoid topping on smooth wovens, it traps under the wingtip detail and makes those delicate outline stitches harder to trim cleanly. Pair with any skull or botanical element for a matching set this october.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45879746560150,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SkullButterflyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764214057","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/skull-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
